I've seen this as well, but attributed it to an old sarge installer
which used "testing" instead of "sarge" (or "stable") in the installed
sources.list file. In this case, an update from a pre-sarge testing
snapshot (is installed by the base system) to a current etch version
is attempted. Such cross-release updates are not supported.
